Bloggers Bluff #01: Over Heaven’s Hill
Bloggers Bluff is the new game on the block for bloggers!
The idea is simple: our blogger of the week will come up with 3 outrageous, little-known stories facts about him- or herself. Two of these stories will be true one will be completely made up! Then we’ll open up the comments section and you can get guessing which one is the Bloggers Bluff.
Are YOU game?!
This week, I am joined by Geraldine from Over Heaven’s Hill.
Before we start the bluff, let’s find out a little more about her.
How long have you been blogging?
3 glorious months!
What’s the best thing about blogging?
Writing. I absolutely love writing. It’s been my passion since I was a kid. I lost the love for creative writing a few years back and missed it. Blogging has been a great way to get me back into the writing zone and what better to write about than my family.
Describe your blog in 3 sentences or less.
Over Heaven’s Hill is a journey of becoming the new me through parenting. Since becoming a mum I have changed and while the journey is terrifying, it’s incredibly amazing too.
What’s your best piece of blogging advice?
If you’re serious about blogging, then get your domain and hosting sorted before you even type one word! Going self hosted after blogging a month was tough and tedious and I’d never do it that way again. Transferring posts, graphics, images, stats, subscribers is just a pain.

Now let’s get down to business. Give me three stories about yourself, Geraldine!
Bloggers Bluff A
As a seven year old ballerina, I performed a Pied Piper routine in the Gaiety Theatre, Dublin. As we waited in the wings I calmed down my dance partner who unfortunately wet herself with nerves. The entire performance I searched for my mum in the eaves and forgot my partner was a ball of jelly. Mental note: don’t work with kids.
Bloggers Bluff B
I am a fan of WWE – hello Seth Rollins – myself and B rewatch old matches on the WWE Network when A has gone to bed. And sometimes during dinner – bad parenting tv dinners, don’t tell on us. A is becoming quite the fan herself and often “drops the elbow” on Papa Bear. FYI women’s wrestling on the WWE has changed and is awesome!
Bloggers Bluff C
I walked the length of Manhattan from fifth avenue down to the East Village on a sweltering June day with 90% humidity. Being Irish, I of course did not reapply my lotion and got significantly burnt. Learnt my lesson there… avoid New York. I was also asked by a waiter in a coffee shop, because I’m from Dublin, if I knew anyone in Mayo… eh the answer was no.
So guys, which is the bluff??
Find out in next week’s Bloggers Bluff! Why not subscribe to my blog so you don’t miss out!
Ohhhh Im going for B being the bluff! Not sure why – just a guess 🙂 A great post and lovely to read more about Geraldine too xx #BloggerClubUK
Yeah I wondered about B, but I DO happen to know that she likes wrestling… Thanks for commenting. L
Haha I love this! Very clever going into detail, makes it harder. Think B is true. Because I like WWE too, I also love Total Divas and think women’s wrestling has improved! XX
Yes she’s created a very intricate lie, whichever it is! Hehe!
I love this series! Took me ages to think of three facts haha so much fun! Get guessing!
Thank you for being my guinea pig, Geraldine! It’s always tough going first, but you’ve done a fab job and got the series off to a great start! Thank youuuuu!
Haha, fantastic one from Geraldine and what a fantastic series. I agree with her advice. Go self-hosted from the start! I think B is the bluff too #bloggerclubuk
Glad you like the idea of the series (I’ve never done a series before!) Geraldine has done a great job! Thanks for taking part. L
tricky, tricky, im going to say A… or C! #bloggerclubuk
I like the decisiveness 😉 Haha. Thanks for leaving a comment. All will be revealed in next weeks’ Bloggers Bluff 🙂
What a brilliant idea for a series. All three facts are very convincing. I’m going to guess A #sharingthebloglove
Thank you! I’m glad you like the series. This is the first one so I’m very gratefully to Geraldine for getting us off to such a fun start! Thanks for your guess. L
A is the fake one! I want to do it!!!!! Such a fab idea #brillblogposts
That’s a very confident guess! We’ll find out next week… Also, I’d love you to take part, Frenchie Mummy 🙂 I’ll message you. L
Brilliant idea for a series! Such a great way to find out more about the person behind the blog, which I love doing. I think the bluff is C! Thank you for joining us at #SharingtheBlogLove x
Glad you like the series. It’s been fun for me to see what the guest bloggers have come up with for their stories too!
Love this, I’m going to go with.. C.. I think! #pocolo
Hehe. They’re all so convincing, aren’t they?!
What a great idea, just like WILTY – one of my favourite programmes! These are very good! I am going to say A. I wish I had had this advice before I started my blog though – I am now in the midst of wondering how on earth I go about moving over to self hosted! #SharingtheBlogLove
Oh yes, who doesn’t love a bit of Rob Brydon?! Hehe.
Moving to self-hosted sounds like a nightmare! Thanks for leaving a comment. L
Such a fun idea for a series and a great way to get to know our blogging buddies better. I think it is no 1. Thanks for linking to #ablogginggoodtime
I love posts where I get to know more about the people behind the blog! Glad you like the series.
Oooh great idea! I reckon C is the bluff.. Don’t know why but I can see A happening and you say she likes wrestling!
#ablogginggoodtime
That’s great. Thank you for guessing. Answers next week (along with a new set of stories to choose from). L
Hahaha what a great idea! I’m going to guess at B, but it could be C
Thank you for guessing. It’s great that there’s such a mixture of guesses! Check back next week to find out! Thank you for your comment. L
Ohh! I like this series….What a lot of fun!
I think B is the bluff….Even though….hello Seth Rollins. hehehe I do like him 😀 x
I have to confess I just had to google who Seth Rollins is! I know nothing about wrestling!
I absolutely love this idea! I’d love to take part at some point!
I think C is the bluff. X
#TheList
I’d love you too take part! Glad you like the series 🙂
Love this idea for a series – although it is one of my worst nightmares when people ask you to come up with facts about yourself – my mind goes blank! I’m going for C as the bluff – no idea why! Will have to pop back next week! Thanks so much for joining us again at #SharingtheBlogLove
I’m rubbish at thinking of things to say about myself too! Haha. It will be great to see you back again next week 🙂
Oh no, I’m terrible at these kind of games, A B and C all sound so plausible! Great idea for a series! #thelist
Hehe glad you like the series! L
I initially thought B was the bluff but I think I’m going to say A.
Yep sticking with A.
#SharingtheBlogLove
Hehe I like the decisiveness! Thank you for leaving a guess 🙂
Oh I love this idea! I honestly can’t tell which of the stories is a bluff, they all sound like they could be true? I thought maybe B was the bluff, but I’m starting to think that it’s been thrown in there to make us think it’s a bluff but it’s not? I’d be a rubbish Sherlock Holmes anyway! #PoCoLo
Ooh are you suggesting a double bluff?? The plot thickens… Hehe. Thanks for commenting. L
